Chapter 220: Wealth and Honor

Several days later, Chen Ansheng left the Southern Zhan region.

After some inquiries, Chen Ansheng learned that to reach the Hellish Dragon Sea, he needed to find a special teleportation array thousands of miles away.

“It’s not too urgent; I can take a stroll along the way.”

Having grown up, Chen Ansheng had no idea what other places in the Immortal Realm looked like.

After walking for about three hundred miles, Chen Ansheng arrived in a village.

This village was entirely inhabited by demon cultivators.

Fox spirit girls, flower fairies, and spiritual birds were everywhere.

“Hey there, esteemed guest, come in and have some fun; we have top-notch fox spirit girls that will surely satisfy you.”

“Sir, the flower fairies here are truly exceptional; you must try them!”

Walking through the streets, the vendors called out continuously, with many brothels among them.

“There’s no need; I’m not that kind of person.”

Chen Ansheng waved dismissively at the overly adorned demoness, while his eyes scanned around, feeling that there should be something better ahead.

As for personal safety, Chen Ansheng wasn’t worried.

His immortal sense covered the entire village, and the strongest demon cultivator here was only at the eighth realm.

Such a village was the norm in the Immortal Realm; the vast majority at the bottom level, whether human or demon, wandered around the third and fourth immortal realms, while those above the sixth realm could be considered experts.

“Oh dear, sir, you say you’re not that kind of person, yet you’ve walked back and forth eighteen times, heehee.”

Passing by a brothel, a demoness wrapped her arm around Chen Ansheng’s.

Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but blush; having walked eighteen times back and forth, he had already drawn the attention of the street vendors.

“Sir, just come in; I guarantee I can arrange something satisfactory for you.”

Noticing that Chen Ansheng didn’t resist, the woman coaxed him into the establishment. Although he was a gentleman at heart, he felt it would be rude to leave her feeling rejected given her enthusiasm.

“Ladies, come quickly to serve our dear guest!”

Upon her call, various beauties flocked to him.

The demonesses were quite discerning; seeing Chen Ansheng’s refined clothing and extraordinary demeanor, they realized he was a very important customer.

“No need.”

Chen Ansheng waved his hand again.

“Bring out some good wine and fine dishes; something special!”

Hearing this, the woman dismissed the other demonesses for now and personally went to the kitchen, instructing them to prepare only the most expensive items.

Of course, when catering to such a distinguished guest, the quality of the dishes could not be poor; otherwise, they might not be able to handle the repercussions.

With a table filled with exquisite delicacies from the Immortal Realm and aged immortal wine, Chen Ansheng felt extremely satisfied.

“Now I’m also someone of high status, haha!”

Chen Ansheng exclaimed joyfully after drinking.

Such treatment was something he had never even dared to dream of before.

After indulging in food and drink, the woman brought in a few of the prized entertainers to promote them to Chen Ansheng.

“Forget it, you’re also running a small business, and I feel sorry for you. You, you, you, and you step forward to serve me.”

After acting as a benefactor for a few hours, Chen Ansheng finally prepared to leave.

When he settled the bill, he had spent over eight thousand immortal crystals.

He tossed out a dozen purple crystals, and the demonesses almost laughed to the point of breaking.

It had been many years since they had seen such a wealthy young master.

After rewarding everyone, Chen Ansheng was escorted to the door.

In front of the door, a filthy beggar was pleading for mercy, and the demonesses, fearing the beggar would upset the young master, immediately shouted to drive him away.

“Please, young master, have compassion and give me a few coins.”

The beggar refused to leave, dragging his useless legs and pleading.

The demonesses were used to this; they had worked hard to earn their living and had no spare change to give him.

With a slap, one of them knocked him over; only when the beggar panicked did he dare to look up, and upon seeing Chen Ansheng, he burst into tears.

“You, you’re Ansheng, my old brother?”

“Hmm?”

Chen Ansheng frowned slightly and focused his gaze; he could discern some features.

“You’re Ahud?”

“Exactly!”

Recognizing each other, the beggar cried out loudly.

This man, named Chen Ahud, was a few years older than Chen Ansheng and had been a bully among the children in the village; Chen Ansheng had also been bullied by him.

Since they had grown up and left home, he hadn’t been doing well.

Among immortals, unlike mortals, acquaintances could sense each other’s presence, allowing them to recognize one another.

As he cried, Chen Ahud looked Chen Ansheng up and down, seeing him in a white immortal robe, silk pants, high-quality boots, with precious jade at his waist and rare treasures on his wrists – a true picture of wealth and honor!

“Ansheng, how have you come to such prosperity?”

Seeing such grandeur, Chen Ahud momentarily stopped crying.

In the past, Chen Ansheng had been a pitiful sight, yet after twenty years apart, he had transformed so dramatically.

“It’s a long story.”

Chen Ansheng released a strand of immortal power to lift Chen Ahud.

“Brother Hu, how have you fallen to such depths? Come upstairs and have a meal; we can drink and chat.”

After all, they were both from the same village. Given their youthful indiscretions, some unpleasant memories could be set aside for now.

“Ah, thank you, Ansheng, thank you.”

Upon hearing there was food and drink, Chen Ahud could not help but shed more tears.

The demonesses nearby were smiling; regardless of whether he was a filthy beggar, having this young master in charge would surely bring hefty immortal crystals, making the beggar an immortal lord.

Returning to the upstairs, Chen Ansheng ordered a spread similar to what they had just eaten.

Chen Ahud devoured the food greedily, almost choking on the spot.

Young master, there’s more to this chapter; please click to the next page to continue reading; it gets even more exciting!

After stuffing his face, Chen Ahud finally caught his breath, managing to stay alive.

“Ansheng, I, I bow to you.”

Chen Ahud suddenly knelt in front of Chen Ansheng and banged his head on the floor several times.

“It’s just a meal; there’s no need for such formalities.”

Chen Ansheng used his immortal power to lift him up.

Chen Ahud stood up, not daring to glance at Chen Ansheng’s luxurious attire, fearing his gaze would tarnish the immortal elegance.

He timidly said, “Ansheng, I was young and foolish back then and bullied you when you were younger. Now, in my time of difficulty, not only do you not take revenge but also invite me to a meal. I feel so guilty and ashamed.”

“Ha ha.” Chen Ansheng smiled. “You’ve said you were young and foolish; why should I hold it against you? If you were to bully me now, that would be a different matter.”

“I wouldn’t dare!” Chen Ahud exclaimed in a panic. “Since you left home, I have matured and often regretted my past actions. Guilt has weighed heavily on my heart. On my grandmother’s side, there’s a job to do. I wouldn’t dare to spare any effort! If you don’t believe me, go back and ask my grandmother.”

Chen Ansheng forced a smile; after all, they were village brothers, and there was no need for too much grudging after coming of age.

“Brother Hu, we’re just joking; don’t take it too seriously.”

At that moment, Chen Ansheng felt completely at ease.

“By the way, how long have you been out, and how did you end up in such a predicament, with both legs injured?”

While asking, Chen Ansheng took out a healing immortal pill, preparing to give it to Chen Ahud.

Seeing that purple, fragrant pill float out, Chen Ahud recognized its invaluable worth and precious nature.

Could it be that Brother Ansheng wants to bestow this pill upon me?
